SectionⅣ Reading Comprehension (20 marks, 1 mark each)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You
should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet
Ⅰ with a single line through the centre.
At all ages and at all stages of life, At all ages and at all stages of life,
fear presents a problem to almost everyone. "We are largely the playthings of our
Passage
1
fears," wrote the British author Horace Walpole many years ago. "To one, fear of
the dark; to another, of physical pain; to a third, of public ridicule; to a fourth,
of poverty; to a fifth, of loneliness--for all of us our particular creature waits
in a hidden place."
Fear is often a useful emotion. When you become frightened, many physical changes
occur within your body. Your heartbeat and responses quicken; your pupils expand
to admit more light; large quantities of energy-producing adrenaline (肾上激素) are
poured into your bloodstream. Confronted with a fire or accident, fear can fuel
life-saving flight (逃离). Similarly, when a danger is psychological rather than
physical, fear can force you to take self-protective measures. It is only when fear
is disproportional to the danger at hand that it becomes a problem.
Some people are simply more vulnerable to fear than others. A visit to the newborn
nursery of any large hospital will demonstrate that, from the moment of their births,
a few fortunate infants respond calmly to sudden fear-producing situations such as
a loudly slammed door. Yet a neighbor in the next bed may cry out with profound fright.
From birth, he or she is more prone to learn fearful responses because he or she
has inherited a tendency to be more sensitive.
Further, psychologists know that our early experiences and relationships strongly
shape and determine our later fears. A young man named Bill, for example, grew up
with a father who regarded each adversity as a temporary obstacle to be overcome
with imagination and courage. Using his father as a model, Bill came to welcome
adventure and to trust his own ability to solve problem.
Phil's dad, however, spent most of his time trying to protect himself and his
family. Afraid to risk the insecurity of a job change, he remained unhappy in one
position. He avoided long vacations because "the car might break down." Growing up
in such a home, Phil naturally learned to become fearful and tense.
56. In the last sentence of Paragraph 1, "our particular creature" refers to ______.
A. fear of something
B. a fierce beast
C. physical pain
D. public ridicule
57. Fear can be a useful emotion to us because it can______.
A. stimulate many physical changes within our body.
B.
C.
quicken our heartbeat and response.
pour large quantities of adrenaline into our bloodstream
D. help us respond quickly to danger and protect ourselves
